Ten years ago, Harry Frankfurt, a philosophy professor (emeritus) at
Princeton, came out with a very slim volume entitled On Bullshit. It
was basically just the republication of an essay he’d written about 20
years earlier, but it got a fair amount of attention when put in book
form. What struck me about it at the time was the contrast Frankfurt
drew between bullshit and lying.

On Bullshit is one of my favourite essays. There is a difference between
bullshit and lying. And I agree, Trump is just bullshitting.

Crystal is a upcoming “content blocker” for iOS. The short version of
the story is that Apple will allow developers to develop Safari
extentions to block content, everything from ads to trackers etc on iOS

This will be very interesting. And this articles shows why.

I don’t mind non-intrusive ads. My problem is when I have to download
tens upon tens of megabytes of javascript libararies and resources for
tracking purposes on (almost) every single site I go to.

The next version of iOS comes with a major new feature called ‘content
blockers’ which will allow users to install apps that block trackers,
advertisements and other unwanted content for the first time.
